I loved Ace Ventura too. Probably still do, though I haven't seen it in a long time.

Buffista Movies 7: Brides for 7 Samurai
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

I own The Mask, but for the big production numbers. "The SWAT team got an offer from Vegas."

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

We still say "excrement" for "excellent" around my house.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
I have seen the Wedding Singer more times than I care to admit. The 80s nostalgia and Drew Barrymore suck me in every single time.
"Big Daddy" is not a particularly good movie, and I was fine to see it once, though watching the end for John Stewart is pretty funny. I only watch one scene of "Billy Madison" for this quote:
Mr. Madison, what you've just said... is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.

I could watch Bob Barker beat Sandler up all day long. Chubbs' exit and Ricard Kiel telling Christopher McDonald he'll be waiting in the parking lot are also things of comedic beauty.

I own The Mask, but for the big production numbers. "The SWAT team got an offer from Vegas."
The "Cuban Pete" bit, while a bit of a rip-off of the "Day-O" scene in Beetlejuice, was a thing of hilarity. That great dog putting the Mask on was another.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I'm kind of interested in what looks like a bunch of mainstream actors starring in sci-fi movies that aren't action movies -- Matt Damon in the Adjustment Bureau, Bradley Cooper in that one about the magic mind pill, Jake Gyllenhaal in the time-travel one. Are there others? What's that about?

I have seen the ads for this too many times. I think the movie, from the ads, looks really bad. I am not sure De Niro can save it.
I'm onboard with Adjustment Bureau this weekend.

Hey. New board.
I don't know that I'd say the Adjustment Bureau "isn't action." It looks pretty action-packed to me.
